Introduction

This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags and surges from reaching

your computer and other valuable electronic equipment. This UPS also filters out small utility line fluctuations and

isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from the utility line, while supplying power

from its internal batteries until the utility line returns to safe levels.

While running on battery, an internal alarm will sound (periodic beeps). The on/test button may be pressed to silence the

UPS alarm.

If the utility power does not return, the UPS will continue supplying power to the connected equipment until exhausted. A

continuous beeping will sound two minutes before the UPS’s final low battery shutdown. If using a computer, you must

manually save your files and power down before the UPS turns itself off, unless you are using PowerChute interface

software that provides automatic, unattended shutdown.

Unpacking

Inspection

Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage. The packaging is recyclable; save it for

reuse or dispose of it properly.

Contents

The shipping package contains the UPS, its batteries, and, for some rack mount units, rails to hold the UPS in a rack. The

5000 VA unit ships with the batteries separate from the UPS case.

How to Unpack the SU 5000 UPS

Move the UPS, in its shipping package, as close to the desired location as possible. Then follow these instructions:

Use scissors or a knife to cut

the plastic straps and open the

package.

Read this User’s Manual for safety

information and installation

instructions.

covers the top and sides of the

package. The bottom of the

box is formed by a wooden

pallet.

Pull the plastic bag down to expose the

UPS.

Lift the UPS up and out of the

box.

Remove the batteries from the pallet.

Caution:

The 5000 VA models (without batteries installed) require two people to lift due to their weight.

990-7031C, Revision 4 12/99

Installation

Installing your UPS requires five steps:

1. Position the UPS in the desired location. For rack mount units this may include installing the rails into the rack.

2. Connect the batteries. All UPSs ship with the batteries disconnected. In 5000 VA units you must also install the

batteries in the UPS.

3. Connect equipment to the UPS.

4. Power up the UPS.

5. Install PowerChute® UPS monitoring software and accessories.

Position the UPS

Placement

Install the UPS in a protected area that is free of excessive

dust and has adequate air flow. Do not operate the UPS

where the temperature and humidity are outside the

specified limits.

Warning!

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void

the warranty.

Installing Rack Mount Units

The rack mount UPS comes with standard 19” (46.5 cm) rack mount brackets (ears) installed. The 3000 and 5000 VA

models of the UPS are supplied with rails to support them in the rack. These supports may be used to ease installation for

19” or 23” racks. The supports are available as an accessory for the 1400 VA model. Contact your dealer or APC at the

number listed under APC Contact Information, page 19, for more information. See Appendix B: Types of Racks and

Mounting Hardware, page 23, for more information and installation instructions.

Caution:

Two or more people are required to install the 3000 and 5000 VA models due to their weight. The 5000 VA models

must be put into position before the batteries are installed.

Installing the UPS in a rack involves a four-step process:

1. Determine the location of the UPS in the rack.

2. Install the mounting rails in the rack.

3. Load the UPS into the rack.

4. Attach the mounting brackets to the rack.

This section describes each step in detail.

990-7031C, Revision 4 12/99

Determine the Location of the UPS in the Rack

UPSs are heavy. Select a rack location sturdy enough to handle the weight. Mount the UPS at or near the bottom of the

rack.

Select a rack location with adequate air flow that is free from excessive dust. Ensure that any air vents on the sides of the

UPS are not blocked. Do not operate the UPS where temperature or humidity are outside the limits listed under

Specifications, page 17.

Two additional sets of bracket holes, shown below at asterisks (*), are located on the sides of all rack mount UPS models

except the 5000 VA. These holes allow mounting the brackets with a three inch or six inch setback. Move the mounting

brackets back if desired to optimize the esthetic or physical requirements of the rack. The 5000 VA unit cannot be

mounted in a setback position since it requires the full depth of the rack.

Caution:

Check the rack to make sure it won’t tip after moving the mounting brackets.

1. Determine where in the rack you’ll mount the UPS. The

SU5000 requires a space of 5U. Some racks have tick marks to

indicate the U-spaces.

2. Using the mounting template provided (part number 990-0195),

identify and mark the correct mounting holes for the UPS

mounting brackets.

3. Locate and mark the bottom hole in the designated U-space .

The bottom screw on the mounting rail will attach to the bottom

hole in the U-space.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining three rack posts.

5. Prepare the rack holes, if necessary. Racks with threaded holes

require no preparation.

If your rack has round holes, insert clip nuts

(provided) into

the holes marked in step 2.

If your rack has square holes, insert either clip

or cage

nuts into the holes marked in step 2.

Remove the two screws  that hold the rails together so

that the rails can slide outward . Do not detach the rails.

Front

Align the bottom hole on the mounting rail with the bottom

hole in the U-space (marked in step 3 above). Use the flat,

Phillips head screws (10-32) and conical washers to attach

the front rail to the rack. Position the rails so that the lip of

the rail is on the bottom.







990-7031C, Revision 4 12/99

Expand the rails so that it spans from the front rack post to

the back rack post. Replace the two screws (removed in

step 1) that hold the rail sections together.

Back

Attach the rail to the back rack post using the same

hardware (10-32 flat head screws and conical washers) used

in step 2. Repeat the process for the other rails.

Caution:

The 5000 VA models (without batteries installed) require two people to lift due to their weight.

Load the UPS into the Rack

Supporting the UPS from the front and back,

carefully align the unit with the rails. Slide the UPS

into position.

Attach the Mounting Brackets to the Rack

Use the ornamental screws supplied with the UPS to

attach the mounting brackets to the rack post.

Charge the battery

The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power. The battery will charge fully during the first four

hours of normal operation. Do not expect full runtime during this initial charge period.

Connect Computer Interface Port (Optional)

Power management software and interface kits can be used with this UPS. Use only kits supplied or approved by the

manufacturer. If used, connect the interface cable to the 9-pin computer interface port on the back panel of the UPS.

Secure the connector’s screws to complete the connection.

Caution:

DO NOT use a standard serial interface cable to connect to the Computer Interface Port on the UPS. Standard

serial interface cables are incompatible with the UPS connector. Use the cable provided with your UPS.

Connect Ground Leads to TVSS Connector (Optional)

The UPS features a TVSS connector for connecting the ground lead on transient voltage surge-suppression (TVSS)

devices such as telephone and network line protectors. The TVSS connector provides grounding through the UPS’s power

cord ground conductor. To make a connection to the TVSS connector, loosen the screw and connect the surge

suppression device’s ground lead. Tighten the screw to secure the lead.

Voltage Sensitivity

The UPS detects line voltage distortions such as spikes, notches, dips, and swells, as well as distortions caused by

operation with inexpensive fuel-powered generators. By default, the UPS reacts to distortions by transferring to on-battery

operation to protect the loads. Where power quality is poor, the UPS may frequently transfer to on-battery operation. If

the loads can operate normally under such conditions, battery capacity and service life may be conserved by reducing the

sensitivity of the UPS.

To reduce UPS sensitivity, press the configuration button on the rear panel. Use a pointed object such as a pen to

press the button. Press it once to set the UPS’s sensitivity to reduced. Press it again to set the sensitivity to low. Press

the button a third time to reset normal sensitivity.

Low Battery Warning Interval

By default, the low battery warning occurs when there are approximately two minutes of on-battery run time remaining.

This may not be enough time to gracefully shut down some protected computer systems.

To change the warning interval, press the rear panel configuration button while pressing and holding the front-panel

on/test button.

Battery Pack Connector (Optional)

Use the battery pack connector (on units that have one) to connect the optional external battery pack. See

Appendix A: XL Information, page 20, for instructions.

Operating Instructions

Switch On — Switch Off

With the UPS plugged in, press and release the large upper on/test button to supply power to the loads. The loads are

immediately powered while the UPS beeps and performs a self-test.

Press and release the small, lower off button to turn off power to the loads. It may be convenient to use the UPS as a

master on/off switch for the protected equipment.

Note:

Whenever the UPS is plugged in and utility voltage is present, the charger maintains battery charge.

The on-line LED illuminates when the UPS is supplying utility power to the loads.

On Battery

During on-battery operation, the on-battery LED illuminates and the UPS sounds an audible alarm consisting of four beeps

every 30 seconds. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to on-line operation.

Battery Charge Bar Graph

The 5-LED display on the right of the front panel shows the present charge of the UPS’s battery as a percentage of

the battery’s capacity. When all five LEDs light, the battery is fully charged. The top LED goes out whenever the

battery is not 100% charged. When the lowest LED is flashing, the battery can supply less than two minutes of

run time for the load. The battery capacity threshold is shown in the figure to the left (values are not listed on the

UPS).

Shutdown Mode

In shutdown mode the UPS stops supplying power to the load, waiting for the return of utility power. If there is no

utility power present, external devices (e.g., servers) connected to the computer interface or the accessory slot can

command the UPS to shut down. This is normally done to preserve battery capacity after the graceful shutdown of

protected servers. The UPS will scroll the front panel indicators sequentially in shutdown mode.

Self-test

The UPS performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and every two weeks thereafter (by default). Automatic self-

test eases maintenance requirements by eliminating the need for periodic manual self-tests.

During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the loads on-battery. If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-line

operation.

If the UPS fails the self-test it immediately returns to on-line operation and lights the replace battery LED.

The loads are not affected by a failed test. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test again. If the replace

battery LED is still on, replace the battery using the procedure in Replacing the Battery, page 11.

Replace Battery

If the battery fails a self-test, the UPS emits short beeps for one minute and the replace battery LED illuminates. The UPS

repeats the alarm every five hours. Perform the self-test procedure to confirm replace battery conditions. The alarm stops

when the battery passes the self-test.

The 5-LED display on the left of the front panel represents the power drawn from the UPS as a percentage of total

capacity. For example, if three LEDs are lit, the load is drawing between 50% and 67% of the UPS’s capacity. If

all five LEDs light, thoroughly test your complete system to make sure that the UPS will not become overloaded.

In the graph to the left the load capacity threshold is listed next to the LED (values are not listed on the UPS).

Overload

When the UPS is overloaded (the connected loads exceed the maximum specified in the “maximum load” section under

Specifications, page 17), the overload LED comes on and the UPS emits a sustained tone. The alarm remains on until the

overload is removed. Disconnect nonessential load equipment from the UPS to eliminate the overload.

SmartTrim

The SmartTrim LED comes on to indicate that the UPS is compensating for a high voltage.

SmartBoost

The SmartBoost LED comes on to indicate that the UPS is compensating for a low voltage.

Low Battery

When the UPS is operating on-battery and the energy reserve of the battery runs low, the UPS beeps continuously until the

UPS shuts down from battery exhaustion or returns to on-line operation.

Cold Start

When the UPS is off and there is no utility power, use the cold start feature to apply power to the loads from the UPS’s

battery.

Note:

Cold start is not a normal condition.

Press and hold the on/test button until the UPS beeps.

Release the on/test button during the beep and the loads are powered within four seconds.

The display indicates that the voltage is between the displayed value from the list and the next higher value. For example,

with three LEDs lit, the input voltage is between 208 and 223 VAC.

If no LEDs come on and the UPS is plugged into a working AC power outlet, the line voltage is extremely low.

If all five LEDs come on, the line voltage is extremely high and should be checked by an electrician.

Note:

The UPS starts a self-test as a part of this procedure. The self-test does not affect the voltage display. The utility

voltage bar graph has a margin of error of ±

straight back from the battery connector.

6. Connect the battery leads to the new battery. Connect the red wire to the positive (+)

terminal and the black wire to the negative (–) terminal.

7. Slide the battery into the UPS.

8. Close the battery door, replace the battery compartment screws, and replace the front cover.

Notes:

Be careful removing the batteries - they are heavy.

Small sparks at the battery connectors are normal during connection.

Batteries must be recycled. Deliver the battery to an appropriate recycling facility or ship it to

the supplier in the new battery’s packing material. See the new battery instructions for more

information.

3. Use a screwdriver or a coin to remove the two (2) battery door screws and open the door.

4. Disconnect the front battery pack:

For the 1400 – 3000 VA models, gently but firmly pull the red and black wires at the top of

the battery housing to disconnect the gray connector plug from the UPS.

For the 5000 VA model, grip the white cord on the front set of batteries and pull firmly to

disconnect the connector.

5. Pull the front battery out of the UPS by pulling on the clear label, not the white cord.

Remove the foam spacer and set it aside. (The 5000 VA unit does not use foam spacers.)

Notes:

Be careful removing the batteries - they are heavy. Support the bottom of the batteries as

you remove them.

The 5000 VA model has four sets of batteries.

6. Reach into the battery compartment and grasp the white cord on the other battery connector.

Pull firmly to disconnect the connector and remove the rear set of batteries.

7. Slide the rear set of new batteries into the unit.

For 1400 – 3000 VA units: Hold the connector down below the top of the batteries and

toward the door, otherwise the assembly will not fit.

Guide the connector over the top of the batteries and press firmly to connect it to the rear

connector of the battery compartment.

For 5000 VA units: Hold the battery pack so that the leads are on the right-hand side.

Slide the battery pack into the UPS.

Press the gray connector into the plug at the top of the battery compartment.

Tuck the white cord (that serves as a handle for the connector) neatly to the side.

8. Set the foam spacer (if used) against the rear batteries to prevent the wires from being

pinched.

9. Slide the front set of batteries in, then guide the connector over the batteries and press firmly

to connect it to the front connector of the battery compartment.

Notes:

For the 5000 VA model, repeat steps 4 through 9 for the second set of batteries.

Small sparks at the battery connectors are normal during connection.

10. Close the battery door, replace the screws, and replace the front cover.

Batteries must be recycled. Deliver the battery to an appropriate recycling facility or ship it to

the supplier in the new battery’s packing material. See the new battery instructions for more

information.
